Houdini Deadline- farm publishing Composite (Image Sequence)

Hey! We have some super heavy ocean displacement map COPs to cache out, and as they take many hours, we need to send them to the farm.

The Houdini docs are very specific that only Arnold ASS, Pointcache, VDB and Redshift Proxy caches have ayon farm support - are there plans to expand this? Or are there any known existing workarounds to offloading COPs on the farm?

Hello,

As far as I know it hasn’t been requested by clients yet.
You can create an issue for it on GH with community label.

You can submit it to farm disregarding AYON and use tray publisher to publish them to AYON.

The section on the Vanilla deadline rop node that could send any and all publish types to the farm is exactly what we need
